Trattoria ToGo — Restaurant in Los Angeles

I love this restaurant. I frequent other locations as well. The food is some of the best Italian food I've had at that price point. It really can't be beat.

I'm very particular about pasta. My parents come from a culinary background and cook many traditional dishes by the book, so I always fear eating certain dishes in restaurants. I am always afraid I will be disappointed, or that it will be prepared improperly, or that the spices will be modified, and ingredients substituted, until it tastes nothing like it should. I am always pleased here.

The focaccia is delicious. The Caesar salad is one of the best. The bolognese is so perfect, I can't even describe it. The minestrone is hearty and comforting. The tiramisu is splendid (another dish I am consistently disappointed with at other places).

On the weekends, they have half-priced bottles of wine. So it works out cheaper for a bottle than buying 2 glasses. I've also been there for fixed price menus and they have yet to disappoint. I also have a member's card there that collects points and gives you discounts.

I love this place. I can't...

I'm a long time customer of Louise's Trattoria and was so happy to know that a couple of their restaurants had survived the Covid shutdowns. After many months (make that about 2 years!) away, I dined in at the Pico location with my siblings - and found their delicious focaccia was still just as good as I had remembered! There have been some menu changes but the selection is still quite good and staff was friendly as always. Indoor seating is a little more limited as they have incorporated another restaurant called Holy Cow directly adjacent to their indoor dining room. I definitely plan on more trips over there as I would so love to see this restaurant continue on for many years in my neighborhood!...

They have a separate vegan menu which was not very clear to me when I looked them up online. But I called to check anyway, and Joel was very patient and helpful with all my questions! The vegan menu is very different and interesting, with a edamame tofu ravioli, a gnocchi (which very often has eggs in it) and more options.

They also have a good number of options without onion and garlic, and if not, can prepare a fresh sauce. I tried their Brussels sprouts which were really good! And the gnocchi with pomodoro sauce (I think it was freshly made without onion and garlic, just chopped tomatoes but still really well seasoned and flavorful). The gnocchi was really good too!

They have gluten free...
